So, finally, after more than a half year of trying on countless places looking for seed and finding none available, and while I beleived my only heli at the time will not flower in years I was really hopeless... but then it happened, I got my first flower stalk on past june (Topic posted on it), and it did not work since I was not home at the precise moment to try pollination correctly. Then, maybe because temperatures got lower in winter, as usual, the plant made 2 more flower stalks, and they grew precisely on my vacation period, so I could make pollination correctly and striked on 2 of them. The seed pods grew in just a little more than a month, and past weekend I was surprised by their sudden oppening. Then the little backpart, only 12-14 seeds there were from the 2 pods, and today they went into TC, hope they grow well here! I'm also right now on the process of completing another cycle that took a whole year due to multiplications, H. nutans purchased in TC finally well aclimated and going out from the yars.

And now, almost 2 months later I think, the very first one has sprouted, only 1, but since it is alive, I say it is success!
